Project Idea!

 Hello Cambridge people!

For my project, my group and I have decided on a simple yet effective opening. It will begin in a gymnasium and we see the main female character named Gianna with an unknown injury, leaving the audience wondering what happened. Then, we’ll cut to the same main female character, a gymnast, training hard. 

As the scene changes, credits will appear in the lower corners of the screen in a clean, thin font. The title will be bold and fill the screen to match the drama/sport genre.  

As the story continues, we see the Gianna’s determination grow. She focuses more on gymnastics than on school, and her grades start to slip, mostly F’s. Her room is filled with posters of famous gymnasts, showing just how obsessed she’s become.  

As this is just for the opening, the actual film itself will be a little more profound with actual meaning. Now that I have the basic idea in place, the next step is to focus on developing the character. If I do it right, I’m confident I can bring this project to life successfully. A way I can continue to show progression in this project is with mood boards. For instance, I found while going through Pinterest was actually a prior example, Black Swan (2010).

 

If I want to develop a certain mood for the main character, the best way would be to execute the idea correctly. I have many ideas to incorporate into this project, but I'm so glad to say that for the most part, it's set in stone!
